Post-Game Talk: Vegas legs, hot Hawks goalie down Habs 4-2!

Why not try Laine in the top line?

I'm not the coach and they may go to it one of these days but two things have to happen first.
Laine has to hit full stride and the team has to lose a bunch.

Savard is not great at this point, but the hole left when he doesn’t play is pretty huge. The habs would be competitive with a top pairing rhd.

Carrier is not Savard replacement, we will need another stable RHD to stay competitive if Savard is traded/not re-signed.

Why not try Laine in the top line?

Laine is actually getting the most sheltered minutes on the team, while Slaf and the 1st line face the highest quality of opposition.

You can't exactly swap them without swapping the 1st line role as well and that means swapping every other lines to play in different chair they aren't necessary suited for. It's the same thing as with the Ds, when Struble get inserted, it screw over the other two pairings because they need to take minutes they do not usually take.

Typical habs eh.........get on a roll by beating good teams, and lose to one of the bottom feeders who were embarassed just a couple of days ago.........it was a recipe for disaster.
Damn...................we could be 1 pt from da playoff right now.

Tonight the Avs...........tough test let's hope the team in Florida shows up tonight!!

I suspect both Laine & Savard were kept out to rest them for Avs game. Expecting a very different team & game vs Col tonight

Our next trap game is Vancouver at home after that long road trip. I wouldn't bet against three in a row the wrong way.

Maybe that’ll quell the “re-sign Evans at all costs” talks
